Rebirth

Qianyuan Continent, Three Saints Sect.

"Sect Master, I believe Senior Brother didn't do it on purpose. He is such a good person, how could he steal the three saints golden lotus?"

"Even if Senior Brother really did steal the three saints golden lotus, he must have had his reasons."

"Right, Senior Brother? Senior Brother, please say something."

In the main hall, Chu Yiyi knelt before the Profound Ice Jade Steps, her face tear-streaked like pear blossoms in the rain. Her plain white gauze dress made her look even more pitiful.

Taiwan Novel Network is super thoughtful and convenient.

Listening to her tearful plea, the Sect Master of the Three Saints Sect, Li Jianping, shouted in anger, "Su Ming, as a man, you should take responsibility for your actions! Why did you steal the three saints golden lotus?!"

Su Ming, who had been standing there in a daze, finally reacted upon hearing those words.

He had finally sorted through his memories.

"To think I've transmigrated into the world of this shitty axed novel... and as the ultimate villain, the Heaven-Devouring Demon Lord?"

While complaining in his heart, Su Ming recalled the plot.

Su Ming, the future Heaven-Devouring Demon Lord, was the biggest sucker in the entire book.

His opportunities were snatched by the protagonist, and his crush and even his fiancée ran off with him.

In the end, abandoned by everyone, his Dao Bone was gouged out by the protagonist of destiny, Chu Fan, making him a stepping stone on the other's path to power.

However, Su Ming, who had read the book, knew very well that this guy had ten thousand ways to turn the tables, yet he managed to precisely choose the one path that led to a guaranteed failure.

Su Ming found it hard to imagine how a peerless Genius, whose parents had supposedly sacrificed a dying world just to ensure his birth...

...who possessed the Supreme Chaos Body and the Innate Dao Bone...

...could manage to ruin himself despite having such terrifying talent.

As for his parents, they never appeared until the book was axed, so the author naturally never gave them names.

All he knew was that they were peerless powerhouses, so strong that the world Su Ming was in couldn't even contain them.

The two parents placed Su Ming in this world and temporarily left him in the care of the strongest Sect of the era, the Three Saints Sect.

To curry favor with Su Ming's parents, the Three Saints Sect immediately arranged a marriage for him. His fiancée was also a peerless Prodigy born with heavenly visions.

"Setting aside my own talent, just with super-powered parents and a peerless Prodigy for a fiancée, I don't see how I could possibly lose..."

"If you can't even play such a winning hand, you deserve to have your Dao Bone gouged out in the end."

After cursing the original owner of the body, Su Ming took a deep breath. Since he was the one in control now, he would never let history repeat itself!

Looking up at Li Jianping, Su Ming muttered in his heart.

"The plot has just begun... I was caught stealing the Three Saints Sect's treasure, the three saints golden lotus, for the sake of my Junior Sister, Chu Yiyi."

"As for the reason behind it, it was all due to the schemes of the protagonist of destiny, Chu Fan..."

"I admit Chu Yiyi is indeed a beauty, but not enough to make me a simp, especially since she's already fallen for Chu Fan!"

That's right. In the original novel, the Heaven-Devouring Demon Lord had a crush on his Junior Sister, but her affection had already been maxed out by Chu Fan.

Thus, she exploited the original owner's feelings to constantly demand benefits while keeping him on the hook.

Su Ming's indulgence made Chu Yiyi increasingly brazen. Otherwise, how could the theft of the three saints golden lotus have happened?

Chu Yiyi claimed she needed it for her cultivation, but as soon as she got the three saints golden lotus and learned that Chu Fan was injured and needed it for healing, she immediately gave the treasure away.

Afterwards, both of them were worry-free, while the Heaven-Devouring Demon Lord suffered all the punishment.

I'm a tea master, and this is definitely green tea.

Seeing that Su Ming didn't answer him, Li Jianping was instantly fuming with rage.

He slammed his hand on the armrest of his chair, stood up, and pointed at Su Ming, shouting, "As a Disciple of my Three Saints Sect, is this how you show disrespect to your elders?!"

Looking at Li Jianping pointing at him, Su Ming sneered in his heart.

It was only because the original Heaven-Devouring Demon Lord was too mild-tempered that these people ignored his background.

Furthermore, the fact that a treasure as important as the three saints golden lotus could be stolen by a Disciple in the Transcendent Realm was the biggest issue.

It was clearly a deliberate indulgence by Li Jianping and the other high-level officials of the Three Saints Sect to gain benefits from Su Ming.

After all, his two parents in the Heavenly Dao Realm weren't fools who would just dump their child in a world and ignore him.

Su Ming had a Dao Protector by his side. Any mistakes Su Ming made, this Dao Protector would eventually settle them for him.

The accusation of stealing the Three Saints Sect's treasure was enough for Li Jianping to extort a wealth of resources from the Dao Protector.

Everything happening before his eyes was just another act of extortion.

"Su Ming, I'll give you one last chance. Hand over the three saints golden lotus! Then go to Yan Yu Cliff and reflect on your actions for three months!"

Facing Li Jianping's scolding, Su Ming straightened his back and showed a disdainful expression.

Over a decade of extortion seemed to have made the Three Saints Sect forget Su Ming's true identity.

"I can return the three saints golden lotus to you, but I want you to return the resources my parents gifted to the Three Saints Sect! Furthermore, I will be leaving the Three Saints Sect!"

"You've truly crossed the line..." Li Jianping instinctively wanted to retort, but then he realized something. "You—what did you say?!"

The Sect Master of the strongest Sect on the Qianyuan Continent now showed a look of panic.

Leaving aside that most of those resources had already been consumed by the Three Saints Sect, the mere fact that Su Ming was leaving the Sect was enough to be fatal.

Who knew if Su Ming's mysterious parents would vent their anger on the Three Saints Sect?

The so-called strongest Sect was something that could be destroyed with a single breath in front of someone in the Heavenly Dao Realm.

The path of cultivation has twelve Realms: Mortal Dust, Transcendent, Longevity, Nirvana, Star, Void, Creation, Reincarnation, Immortal, Great Void, Heavenly Dao, and Limitless.

In an era where the Limitless Realm has never appeared in any plane, the Heavenly Dao Realm is the strongest.

"When my parents entrusted me to the Three Saints Sect, they explicitly stated that you were to provide me with cultivation resources, is that not so?!"

"It is..."

"Today, I want the three saints golden lotus to aid my cultivation. Is there a problem with that?!"

"No..."

"Then, in all my actions, am I in the wrong or not?!"

"Not in the wrong..."

The status of both parties reversed in an instant. The one being held accountable changed from Su Ming to Li Jianping.

At this moment, Li Jianping secretly clenched his fists. He couldn't understand why Su Ming, who was usually mild and even somewhat weak, had suddenly become so firm.

"Sect Master, if there is nothing else, I shall take my leave."

These words were not a request, but a notification.

Without giving him any face, Su Ming turned and left the Sect Master's Hall.

Li Jianping stared fixedly at the departing Su Ming, wishing he could strike him dead with a single sword blow.

Beside him, Chu Yiyi's beautiful eyes flickered as she stared at Su Ming's retreating back, secretly feeling relieved.

Although Su Ming had offended the Sect Master, fortunately, he hadn't exposed her.

Stealing a glance at the sulking Li Jianping, Chu Yiyi whispered, "This Disciple takes her leave," and exited the hall.

As soon as she stepped out, Chu Yiyi caught up with Su Ming as quickly as possible.

"Senior Brother Su, wait for me..."

Su Ming stopped and glanced at Chu Yiyi. He knew why she was calling him, but he still asked, "What is it?"

"Senior Brother, my cultivation has reached a critical moment. Could that three saints golden lotus be..." Chu Yiyi put on a bashful look.

"I'm just a little bit away from a Breakthrough... but such a precious item indeed shouldn't be given away lightly... I was being forward." As she spoke, she put on a disappointed expression.

Su Ming watched her performance, unmoved.

Earlier, she had seemingly tried to clear his name in front of Li Jianping, but in reality, she was just shifting all the blame onto him.

If it were the original Heaven-Devouring Demon Lord, out of admiration for this Junior Sister, he would have silently accepted all punishment and then obediently handed over the three saints golden lotus.

And once Chu Yiyi got the three saints golden lotus, she would immediately turn around and give it to Chu Fan.

This wasn't just ordinary green tea; this was super green tea!

In the Sect Grand Competition three days later, Chu Fan, the protagonist of destiny, would rely on the three saints golden lotus to break through to the Longevity Realm and successfully take first place.

But he wasn't the original Heaven-Devouring Demon Lord.

"While I still don't feel like hitting a woman, you green tea bitch, get as far away from me as possible!"

"Senior Brother Su, how could you say that to me..." Chu Yiyi put on a wronged expression, tears welling up in her eyes. "I'm never talking to you again!"

Watching Chu Yiyi leave, Su Ming sneered in his heart, "I'd like to see how well Chu Fan's injuries can recover without the three saints golden lotus!"
